Four Out-of-state Billionaires Trying to Buy a US Senate Seat in Arizona for Trainwreck Blake Masters
One of the hottest U.S. Senate races in the country is in Arizona, where Republicans are hoping to unseat Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly. But they’re wasting all their money during Arizona’s long primary blasting other Republicans, as out-of-state billionaires attempt to put their own candidate in the seat.
Blake Masters, who has spent much of his life as a Libertarian in California working for a Silicon Valley billionaire, Peter Thiel, has just obtained money from three more billionaires; New York’s pro-choice Winklevoss twins who contributed $50,000 each, and $75,000 from Texas libertarian billionaire Andrew Beal. A childhood friend of Masters said Masters convinced him to become pro-choice. Thiel, a Bilderberger who served on the board of Facebook for years, making his ties to Big Tech worrisome, has donated $13.5 million.

Due to the excessive amounts of money, Masters has been able to portray Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich, a solid conservative with a lengthy history of going after the left — probably suing the Biden administration more than any other public official — as soft. In reality, Brnovich has been constantly targeted by the left due to his principled activism, with Democratic Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs filing 12 bar complaints against him and his staff attorneys over election integrity, which he barely beat.
The types of things Masters says will eventually get him disbarred. While calling Biden a criminal is red meat for the base, attorneys have told me off the record he’s going to be disbarred soon due to remarks like that, and then he’ll be of no use to anyone with a disgraced reputation.
Masters is such an arrogant candidate, constantly bragging about his youth and bashing the other candidates over their age (Brnovich is Gen X), he doesn’t care what damage his mouth is doing. He needlessly turned off black conservatives by declaring that “it’s black people, frankly” who are responsible for shootings. In reality, the most recent homicide statistics from the FBI show that there were 3,299 people killed in the U.S. last year. Of them, 2,594 were killed by whites, 566 by blacks, 738 by Hispanics, and the rest other or unknown. While blacks may commit more gun crimes proportionately, to just blame all blacks is irresponsible for someone who clearly thinks he’s very intelligent.
The Rev. Jarrett Maupin, a longtime activist in Phoenix who is now a conservative Republican supporting the meteoric rise of news anchorwoman Kari Lake for governor, told me that it’s a sign Masters is “unstable.” He was furious with Masters’ careless statement. “It’s irresponsible and it’s inflammatory. It’s catering to the worst element, one of the most irresponsible things I’ve seen this primary.” He cited a physical altercation Masters had with a veteran wearing a BLM shirt. “Goaded into violence by the left shows that you are not mature politically.”
Sure enough, that kind of dog whistling is attracting racists. Andrew Anglin, the neo-Nazi publisher of The Daily Stormer, one of the most notorious white supremacist websites, just endorsed Masters. Another racist site, VDare, proudly endorsed him. Jewish Insider flat out portrayed Masters as an antisemite due to multiple incidents, including his use of a “poignant quote” from Nazi leader Hermann Goring in an article Masters wrote stating that that “the U.S. hasn’t been involved in a just war in over 140 years” — an insult to the millions of U.S. troops who lost their lives in World War I and World War II.
Unfortunately, Donald Trump was goaded into endorsing Masters. Thiel similarly got Trump to endorse another candidate he backed, J.D. Vance in Ohio, angering conservatives there who supported the solid conservative Josh Mandel. While most of Trump’s endorsements have been excellent, unfortunately there have been a few questionable ones. Trump’s insiders now say they are wondering if they made a mistake endorsing Masters.
Jim Lamon, a billionaire in the race, is literally giving Masters a run for his money, exposing him in endless TV ads. As a Libertarian, Masters supported open borders and legalizing hard drug dealing, calling hard drug dealers “heroes.” Originally from Alabama, Lamon, who became a billionaire solar industry CEO, has come under fire for “managing a group propped up by Obama’s green energy loans” then founding a “new business partnering with Chinese-controlled solar companies.”
There are two other candidates in the primary race, Mick McGuire and Justin Olson, but they have no chance, polling in single digits. McGuire has the GOP establishment and RINOs backing him, in part due to his loyal support of unpopular Gov. Doug Ducey, failing to challenge any of his lockdowns while an appointee.
If Masters gets the GOP nomination, the Democrats will destroy him due to his needlessly inflammatory, careless statements. The only general election polls show Brnovich performing at least five points better against Kelly than Masters, and ahead of Lamon as well. Kelly has raised and spent more money than all of his GOP competitors combined, and looks on track to raise as much as he did for the 2020 special election, $100 million. Ninety-six percent of the money in the third party PAC supporting Masters comes from three billionaires. Only $190,000 from that PAC has gone toward defeating Kelly.
The bizarre thing about the billionaires portraying Brnovich as a RINO is that he’s considered the Ron DeSantis of Arizona by those who actually know his record. He stepped in and defended Arizona’s election integrity laws when Hobbs wouldn’t, all the way to the Supreme Court and winning. In contrast, his opponents just make statements but never follow through — they’ve never bothered suing the Biden administration or went after Ducey and lefty cities in Arizona legally — things they could have easily done. This all came out at the only primary debate between them. The Week says Masters doesn’t even believe there was election fraud.
Instead, his opponents dishonestly make up lies about Brnovich. Will Arizona’s GOP voters see through the billionaires’ money? The primary is Aug. 2.

The US Constitution, by limiting federal power, is designed to protect the individual citizen from external coercion. “Man should not be in the service of society,” said philosopher Joseph Campbell. “Society should be in the service of man. When man is in the service of society,” Campbell warned, “you have a monster state, and that’s what is threatening the world at this minute.” The Democratic Party is behind it.
By supporting big government at the expense of the individual, Democrats threaten to transform America into a totalitarian nightmare. President Biden has declared that the “most lethal elements” in our society are political conservatives. In true Stalinist fashion, the DOJ, the FBI, and the media are being weaponized to go after Biden’s political opponents. Armed FBI agents raided the homes of Roger Stone, James O’Keefe, Paul Manafort and dozens of other Trump supporters, to say nothing of the raid on Mar-a-Lago. “The FBI is now an organization solely focused on destroying the domestic enemies of the Democratic Party,” said radio host Jesse Kelly. The implication is that if you distrust Biden’s government, you are considered a terrorist and must be hunted down.
Democrats will not hesitate to deprive you of your basic rights if it suits their purpose. In their war on free speech, Democrats have attempted to silence anyone who denies global warming, criticizes Islamic terrorism, advocates a stronger military, or questions the validity of the 2020 election. George Orwell, author of 1984, knew from personal experience how big government can trample all over individual rights. Orwell was particularly impressed by F.A. Hayek’s statement that “collectivism gives to a tyrannical minority such powers as the Spanish Inquisitors never dreamed of.”

Orwell and Hayek agreed that liberty and security are at opposite ends of the political spectrum. Big government, which makes a false promise of security, is capable of extinguishing liberty. Author Dennis Prager has argued that most people, to their detriment, prefer security over liberty. That explains why so many people vote for Democrats even when it is clear that they are voting against their own self-interest. “Sadly,” said Brig. Gen. Blaine Holt, “too few understand that exchanging all freedom for the promise of security ends in extreme poverty and mass casualties.”
The slide began with Obama’s eight-year assault on American values. We had a breather as Trump achieved a series of miracles to bring back the economy, control the southern border, put the Chinese in their place, strengthen the military, and ban Critical Race Theory. Trump’s miracles were rejected in favor of Obama-on-steroids in the form of the Biden administration.
How did a robot like Biden end up in the Oval Office? While we looked the other way, the Democratic Party was hijacked by Marxists, racists, and fascists whose aim is to destroy the status quo and replace it with a totalitarian socialist state run by accountable bureaucrats. Under the influence of these new Democrats, the US is on the road to a one-party state.
The Democratic Party’s ultimate alternative to democracy is socialism, where the government takes control of everything. “President Biden is committed to ensuring the government is in your life from cradle to grave,” said Rep. Chris Stewart, “no matter how much taxing and spending that requires.” Where will it lead? “[Biden’s] reckless spending programs have the potential to push the country toward another financial catastrophe,” wrote Justin Haskins in The Hill, “perhaps as soon as within the next year or two.”
Biden’s plan, warns Sen. Marco Rubio, is to Build Back Socialist. “This is the agenda of the leftist base that now controls the Democratic Party,” Rubio said. “These are the people who think America is a terrible country, that America is a country with a shameful history, a racist and unjust system.”
Democrat-sponsored legislation, said Sen. Marsha Blackburn, is designed to be “a takeover of the country in one vote. They want government control of your kids,” she said. “They want government control of health care. They want to demoralize the military, close the churches, destroy your faith in the American system.”
To achieve its diabolical ends, the Democratic Party has embraced violence as its modus operandi. “[Democratic Party] leaders from Barack Obama to Seattle Mayor Jenny ‘Summer of Love’ Durkan gave the green light to anarchy,” wrote Miranda Devine in The New York Post. With the complicity of Democratic mayors, governors, and district attorneys, the US has descended into rampant lawlessness. Police have been told to stand down and allow the violence to continue unabated. Prosecutors are more concerned with the rights of criminals than the rights of victims.
Whenever the Democrats are in power, they destroy everything they get their hands on. As Deroy Murdock said in The New York Post, Democrats are “wreaking havoc, division, and devastation. The Democratic Party has deteriorated into a clear and present danger to this republic.” They must be stopped.
“When those who are entrusted to enforce the law,” said author and Fox host Gregg Jarrett, “instead, abuse their power to pursue innocent people in the name of justice it is the worst kind of oppression.” The ongoing weaponization of government agencies and the courts in order to stop Donald Trump is the quintessence of such oppression.
The initial goal of this scheme was the protection from prosecution and the subsequent election of Hillary Clinton. We know from reading the emails of Peter Strzok and Lisa Page that high-ranking members of the FBI were working behind the scenes to ensure Trump’s defeat in the 2016 election. When that failed, the Democrats launched the second step in their plan—the special counsel investigation run by Robert Mueller to prove Trump-Russia collusion.
When that failed, step three was put in motion—the assault on Trump’s residence at Mar-a-Lago and a nefarious barrage of phony indictments leveled against Trump and many of his supporters. The indictments are baseless. Questioning the outcome of an election is not a crime. “One of the election crimes Trump is charged with,” said Kurt Schlichter on Townhall, “is that he allegedly conspired to violate a civil right of American citizens. What right, you ask? Well, a convoluted version of the right to vote, which apparently he conspired to interfere with by insisting that elections be honest, transparent, and unrigged. No one else has ever been prosecuted for that.”

If successful, the indictments would put Trump in a jail cell for the rest of his life. This campaign amounts to a criminal conspiracy by Democrats to destroy the leading Republican contender for the 2024 nomination. It is an overt attempt to interfere with the outcome of a presidential election. Ironically, this is precisely the charge that the Democrats want to hang on Trump.
The Democrats have not recovered from Trump’s 2016 victory. As a political outsider sworn to “drain the swamp,” Trump scares the pants off the Washington elite. They will do anything to protect their lucrative rackets, whether their tactics are legal or not. Meanwhile, Biden is getting away with the worst corruption ever perpetrated by an American president.
Along with Biden, a guilty cast of characters is going free—Hillary Clinton, Eric Holder, James Comey, Susan Rice, John Brennan, Barack Obama, and others. Gregg Jarrett has spelled out their crimes in agonizing detail. Why haven’t they been investigated? The answer: the guilty parties are the same corrupt people who run the justice system. For justice to prevail, they would be required to investigate themselves.
One consequence of the anti-Trump cabal is the loss of confidence by the American public in our system of justice. The public understands that we have a double standard. Justice and fair play do not apply to conservatives and Trump supporters.
Let’s do a little pretending. You are living in East Germany in 1960. Stasi, the repressive secret police, have arrested you and threatened that if you don’t testify against someone they want to condemn, you will spend the next 40 years behind bars and the state will go after your spouse, your children, and your beloved dog Fido. Ah, but you say, “This is America. That could never happen here.” Well guess what, this used to be the land of the free. The quaint notion that we benefit from due process has evaporated along with Cinderella’s ball gown and fancy coach.
Thanks to our politicized justice system, General Michael Flynn, Paul Manafort, Dinesh D’Souza and now President Trump have seen their lives destroyed because of their political opposition to the corrupt Democratic Party. If the powers of government can be weaponized to sabotage a former president, what perversion of justice can be directed at you and me?
Former federal prosecutor Sidney Powell, author of Licensed to Lie: Exposing Corruption in the Department of Justice, described a justice system consisting of out-of-control prosecutors who will do anything to get a conviction. She has been proven correct in a way she never anticipated. Powell is one of the Trump supporters targeted by the Democrat-fueled indictments. Goodbye USA, hello Stasi. If you refuse to support Biden, we will destroy you, your family, and your dog.
It’s the sort of thing we would expect to happen in North Korea. A venal gang of Obama alumni is getting away with a perversion of American justice. When a government doesn’t have a crime but starts a campaign to find one, that’s called a police state. Unless the anti-Trump indictments are quashed and we address the real scandal in our government—corruption in the Oval Office, DOJ, FBI, and IRS—we can kiss the American system of justice goodbye.
